It is amazing how one long weekend can make the whole week feel extra short!
I hope that you all enjoyed some great family time over Thanksgiving :)


In class we have been focused on characterization in LA.  We've been working to give good, detailed information about a character and to show an understanding of them. 
Tomorrow (Thursday) students need to have a character chosen from a novel that they understand and that they will be able to give details about. 
 - Who are important to them?
 - How could they be described?
 - What are some events that were important in their life?
 - What are they trying to accomplish/do?

For some students, talking it out first is very helpful, so if you have a chance tonight to talk about a favorite character your child has, please prompt them with the questions so they have a plan to be successful on their "for marks" page.

Homework this week:   Spelling words and assignment for list #3 (due Friday morning)
                                      RR should be getting close to finished and are due (signed) next Tuesday
